Realtors Political Action Committee, the trade group’s campaign finance arm, also donated $5,000 to Rohrabacher’s re-election campaign in December and January, campaign finance reports show. Rohrabacher also received donations from numerous other agents, real estate developers and Realtor groups.

But NAR dropped him from its “President’s Circle” after the 15-term GOP congressman told an Orange County Association of Realtors delegation on May 16 that he opposes extending the 50-year-old Fair Housing Act to gays and lesbians.

“Every homeowner should be able to make a decision not to sell their home to someone (if) they don’t agree with their lifestyle,” former OCAR President Wayne Woodyard quoted Rohrabacher as saying in the meeting.

“It certainly can’t do me any good to have people take me off their endorsement list,” said Rohrabacher, who represents California’s 48th District in coastal Orange County. “It’s sad to see (NAR’s) priority is standing in solidarity with making sure a stamp of approval is put on somebody’s private lifestyle.”

Rohrabacher added that he’s not “anti-gay” and vehemently opposes similar discrimination based on race, religion or a person’s sex.

But, he said, “there are some fundamentalist Christians who do not approve of their lifestyle. I support their rights.” He also said he believes NAR’s stance is “way out of sync” with its own industry.

“A person who owns their own home, they have a right to choose who they do business with,” Rohrabacher said. “We’ve drawn a line on racism. But I don’t think we should extend that line.”

Sanders specifically said yesterday that Kelly or any member of the WH staff would not be there. Do you think this is an example of why people say she lies?

Yet Kirstjen Nielsen has been an impressively solid sycophant when the lights are on.
